Scouts Organize
A Boy, Scout Troop has • recently
been. organized in Clinton with 25
boys already being enrolled. In a
short tune there will be room for
another 5 or 6 boys, who must be 12
years of age and preferably not more
than 14. The troop meets ' in the
band room "on each Friday evening.
Afte •businesso the last Meet-
ingthe f
was ended the officers treated.
the boys to a weiner roast, which,
needless to say, was enjoyed by all.
It was to have been held in the open
around a campfire, but rain prevent-
ed this.
The Boy Scouts are not, as many
seem to think, a military organize
tion, , It is formed as a character and
health building organization, emphas-
is being laid on honour, loyaltyr,
cleanliness, obedience, and the ability
to take care of oneself.
It is to be hoped that the new troop
will be a credit to the community as
well as to the boys themselves.

LOCAL NINE SCORE -
EASY VICTORY -
Carrick Pitches No -Hit Game, Bn.;
Bad Fourth Inning Allows
Run To Score. -
Goderich Here To111oIT wr
In a regularly scheduled ball game
between the local nine and Staffs;,
the locals won by the onesided seore
of 21 to 1 of the local diamond, ora.
Monday night. Any one who antici-
pated a good ball game must 'have
been very badly disappointed- . The;
visitors brought along a very weak:
team, and with Carrick in the box for
the locals they were practically help-
less with the bat and more°so in the:
fiel Theyended upwithout--•
d. a pit
Cher and the second baseman went ire,
to finish the game and from titan om
everybody walked or stole bases
random. The locals scored in every;'
inning and errors were so numerous*
among the visitors we lost track, and.
stealing dmses got to' be just a habit,.
Altogether it was the poorest gamer
of the season. Bob Carrick for the
localsdi not allowhitduring- th
d a e>
whole six innings, and a no ran, no'
hit game was spoiled for hind in the
fourth when with one out he walkedl
Stapleton, Dill struck out; Harburrs
should have. been the third out; but
Ilawkins fumbled his slow roller be-
tween first and second, Carrick put
himself in deeper trouble when he
hit the next man, Barber, with a
pitched ball, loading the bases; Dar-
ling the next man up then drove a
sharp grounder bewteen first and:
second, and Pickett ran over, •piekecf
it up, but nobody was on first or
second to take his throw, he tried to
tag the runner going from first to*
second and by this time Barber was.
home from third with the visitors only run; some poor covering by the.
local infield was the cause of the run,
Leppard started for Staffa, but tine^
locals had no trouble in pounding him
n extra, bases.The
for safe hits and e t
Kerslake brothers were absent from.
their line-up and this practically'
ruined their team. Lepparct was Inc
trouble practically all the time,
con-
siderable of it being caused by er-
rors by his teammates.
Clinton scored one run in the first„
McDonald walked, stole •second mall •
scored on Wagg's hit, In the second:

more in the third by McDonald andi,

faster than ever in the fifth where '
Pickett, McDonald, Wagg; Haiwlcins,,

sed the plate for runs, seven of iiheal',
on four hits and several errors: Inc
the sixth McDonald, Wagg, Hawkins
and Glew ran the grand total to 2t
runs on 14 hits, and the game wast
called on account of darkness.
